Features of willpower and self-control ...
"Opportunities will power and self-control are extremely attracted my vivid imagination, and I began to discipline yourself.
If I had a cookie or a juicy apple, which I was dying to eat, I gave it to another boy and felt tantalizing, pain and satisfaction. If in front of me was kind of exhausting task, I pounced on her again and again until you do.
So I practiced day after day, from morning till night. At first it took a strong mental effort directed against the inclinations and desires, but the years passed and this contradiction weakened, and finally my will and desire to become one and the same. These are today, and therein lies the secret of my success.
These experiences are so closely related to my discovery of the rotating magnetic field, as if they constituted a substantial part of it; if not for her, I would never have invented the induction motor. »
